Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Player VS Mirror Simulation COS...
After picking up some small trash and filling his backpack, the player finally felt relieved and walked back to the student dormitory to check in before two o'clock in the morning with a struggling pace.
3, 2, 1...
[Ding! Tennis Level 5-Lev. 6 up!]
[Fishing Level 4-5 Up!]
【Save successfully】
On the second day of the Rikkai University internal ranking tournament, the second round of the internal ranking tournament, the cross-group competition, was held.
At exactly eight o'clock in the morning, Mamoru Inoue drove to the Rikkai University Tennis Club again.
As soon as he entered the club, he couldn't help but search for a unique figure in the crowd. Inoue Mamoru caught a member and asked,
"Classmate, where are we now?"
"Right now, the qualification for the other groups is almost confirmed. Only in Group B, Akaya and Yamaguchi are competing for the last spot."
"Oh! It's just over!"
Upon hearing this, Mamoru Inoue immediately turned around and saw that, as expected, Kirihara Akaya had won the game 6-0.
At this point, all the players for Rikkai University in this competition have been confirmed.
Inoue Mamoru looked around again, "Then...why can't I see Yagi-san?"
Chief Li Hai: "..."
They were strangely silent for a moment, and stammered, "Yagi... Yagi,"
Facing Inoue Mamoru's puzzled gaze, they said weakly, "Yagi... should be going through everyone's tennis bags right now. When he's done... he'll be here."
Inoue Mamoru: "?"
Turn over the tennis bag?
——How can you say that about the players? They're just resources that are refreshing and waiting for players to pick them up!
Everything in the game belongs to the players!
The player who found two loaves of bread, three cookies, a bottle of ginger ale and a whole pumpkin pie returned home with a full load!
——Great harvest, great harvest!
Marui, who was chewing bubble gum and talking to Kuwabara, caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, "Kyu——!"
As the player stepped onto the tennis court, a group of Ulala NPCs blocked their way.
Players are already used to it and can flexibly move around NPCs and go straight to the target location.
But even a player as agile as a dog can still be entangled by a few NPCs that are as sticky as candy.
Marui Bunta: "Wow, flying over the eaves and walls! How are you, Kei, are you okay now? Can you still fight? If you fight me, I will show no mercy, okay?"
The player looked up at the opponent who was still in the match, and silently looked at the red-haired NPC.
Previously, a second-stage blood-locking demon kelp-headed NPC and a vernier caliper violent black-faced NPC had already made players deeply aware that the BOSS values in this game exceeded the standard.
Looking at the red-haired NPC in front of the cricket pupa at this moment, the players couldn't help but start speculating about the other party's attributes.
Don't judge NPCs by appearances. What if, in the middle of a fight, a muscular man suddenly appears with his clothes ripped off and punches a kid...
Players still have to scratch it.
What else can you do? You can just forgive the NPC with a smile.
Marui Fumita waited expectantly for the response from his junior.
After waiting for a while,
Younger generation: “-.-”
Bunta Marui:?
After waiting for a while,
Younger generation: “-~-”
Marui Bunta: "..."
Jack Sangyuan slowly patted his old partner's shoulder. The two of them watched their junior leave with his fishing rod, no, tennis racket, and never looked back. Their eyes were deep.
"It's okay, Bunta. At least Kei treated you well and didn't just turn around and walk away."
Chiye, who was passing by, scratched his head: "Didn't he turn around?"
“——That’s going fishing!!”
The player is completely unaware of the NPC's desire for a response from them, and they fish while waiting for the matching time to end boredly.
I lost all my stamina while fishing, and the matching time finally started counting down.
[Countdown 3, 2, 1...matching ends]
[First Grade·Kei Yagi] VS [Third Grade·Masaharu Niou]
Do you accept the challenge now?
·yes
·no
While chewing on pumpkin pie, the player struggled to recall the NPC corresponding to this name from his memory. It was Silver Hair... Silver Hair, right?
The player uncertainly opened the NPC search navigation, but ended up leading to himself.
Player: “?”
Another 'player' picked up the bucket and tennis racket. Although he was very fast, the player still saw him throw the bucket far away at lightning speed at 0.5 times the speed.
The players who witnessed the whole process fell silent.
Yagi Kei looked up again, his trash can hat on, his empty, dead fish eyes staring at me without blinking.
'Yagi Kei': "Is that you?"
Yagi Kei: "Then let's get started."
What's going on? Is the NPC texture incorrect?
He hesitated and circled around his other self twice, looking him up and down.
...No wonder major game companies emphasize that players should dress like human beings in cutscenes.
Trash hat, trash top and farmer pants with black default configuration for novices.
Because the entire body is refreshed automatically every day, players have never thought about changing clothes.
Looking at it from a third-person perspective...it's really hard to describe.
However... although the modeling is exactly the same as the player's,
But this NPC has a huge 'Nioh Masaharu' on his head!
...What is this, an NPCcos player?
The cosplayer's NPC walked onto the tennis court with an expressionless face, followed closely by Yagi Kei.
During this process, the player couldn't help but hear the NPCs around him muttering, "There are actually two Yagis!", "They are exactly the same... Which one is the real one?", "I can't tell at all. This is getting tricky... There are actually two Yagis!"
Until they stepped onto the court, it was still the players vs. 'Kei Yagi'.
The referee hesitated, then blew the whistle after receiving a signal from outside the court.
"Game Eight... Niou vs. Yagi, begin!"
The opposing player, 'Kei Yagi', won the serve.
So when he adopted the same serving posture as Yagi Kei, the discussion outside the court became even louder.
"Sure enough... the one serving is the real Yagi, right?"
"Hmm... I can't tell at all!"
Jack Sangyuan looked left and right, "They are exactly the same, what do you think, Bunta?"
Marui Bunta's head ached a bit, "Although...but when I think about there being two Kei..."
He stopped talking, and the others also thought more about what he said.
Everyone couldn't help but shiver.
Kirihara Akaya clenched the wire mesh, "——It's coming!"
On the court, 'Yagi Kei''s' serve was almost a perfect cos player's performance in every previous match.
But in the eyes of real players: too slow.
Although the movements seem to be the same, the force and rotation have been reduced a lot.
So it's not 100% cos,
The player instantly lost interest in further research.
Since it’s a mirror BOSS, let’s just start fighting!
Two almost identical 'Yagi Kei' on both sides of the court ran, returned the ball, went to the net, and smashed the ball with the same movements.
From an outsider's perspective, it's impossible to get a general idea, and one can only barely capture the subtle differences.
The pen in Yanagi's hand was constantly writing and recording data. Sanada stood beside him with his arms folded, his deep eyes staring straight at the court.
Sanada: "Did you see that, Renji?"
The players next to him heard his voice and all turned their ears to him.
Yanagi Renji calmly turned the page. "The probability that the one on the left is the real Yagi is 97.1%."
Kirihara, who had bet with Marui that the one on the right was Yagi Kei, suddenly jumped up and said, "Ehhh!! Why!?"
Marui clenched his fist: "Yeah! Looks like I guessed right!"
Kirihara Aka was unyielding: "Tell me - tell me, why is the one on the left the real Kei?"
Yagyu pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Perhaps it's because even if Niou-kun imitates him again, he still can't imitate Yagi-kun like..."
He paused, then slowly added under everyone's gaze, "Anthropomorphism."
Everyone: “…”
Kirihara Akaya, with a head full of question marks and a mess of black threads, looked for help to the seniors who could help him answer.
But now, everyone's attention is focused on the field.
Focusing on the battle that is becoming increasingly clear,
...What a crazy way of playing.
Niou Masaharu, who faced Yagi Kei directly, was the person who felt the most deeply at this moment.
He finally understood why Sanada lost to this guy yesterday.
The seemingly ordinary swing attack was actually precisely positioned at every angle, firmly fixed at a fixed value.
The running speed did not change, the breath did not change, the pace did not change, the emotions did not change...
There is no change anywhere.
However, the owner of this unchanged state greedily wants to take every ball and every score.
The ultimate scoring frenzy and the ultimate emotional manipulation, the endless...
This kid doesn't seem like a human being at all.
He gasped for breath and took small steps on one foot, barely catching up to where the tennis ball landed, but still failed to catch it.
"Game Yagi: 3-1!"
The referee blew the whistle.
Yagi Kei slowly wiped the sweat from his chin, looked up at the person opposite him who had taken out a tennis ball from his pocket and jumped up to serve without hesitation.
I’m dying, I’m dying, I’m really dying…
Niou Masaharu kept muttering to himself, is there no limit to this kid's physical strength?
Is there really no loophole at all?
The player glanced at him briefly, then swung the racket backhand, holding it halfway in the air, and then he swung his body upwards and hit it hard.
Niou Masaharu was stunned, and the people outside the field were also stunned, and Kirihara Akaya was even more speechless.
“Th-That’s——”
"That posture is—!"
The yellow ball cut through the air, a flame almost solidifying at the end, blazing all the way towards the enemy.
"The fire in Fenglin Mountain and Fire Mountain—!"
"It's the Vice Minister's aggressive fire!!"
The tennis ball hit my feet hard, bounced back violently, brushed past my ear, and hit the wire mesh, even spinning.
Everyone who accepted the reality only a little bit later gasped.
“I actually used it!!”
"...I only saw Sanada using it yesterday... Why is it..."
“Monster… This guy is a monster…!!”
'Monster' player: "."
Players are not interested in the NPCs' arguments and are now more focused on other things.
I just didn't expect that the NPC skill I got after upgrading by clicking on it would consume half of my stamina.
It is worthy of being the ultimate move of the vernier caliper boss.
I can’t imagine how the players’ wealth will be drained if all of it is used up.
Across from him, a drop of cold sweat slowly rolled down the forehead of a certain 'Yagi Kei'.
He pulled the corner of his mouth hard, and finally had no choice but to take off the disguise on the surface.
"Well... you really scared me. You're a really violent guy, right? Puri~"
"Don't be angry, let's play another round properly from now on, piyo~?"
Niou Masaharu finally walked out of the illusion.
After spending some money on a piece of bread and a bottle of ginger ale to replenish his strength, the player swung at A again.
The mirror imitation BOSS will exit the COS player state after being reduced to 40 health by the player.
Then they began to show all kinds of fancy COS in front of the players.
There were the second-stage kelp-headed NPCs, the violent vernier caliper NPCs, and even professional players and world-shocking moves recorded in tennis history, all of which were used on the players for free.
The player remained silent and just kept attacking with his tennis racket.
In short: A random punch can kill the master.
"Niou's rhythm has been disrupted," Liu closed the notebook and pointed out calmly.
"Ah...ah," the others were not blind either. Just by looking at the amount of sweat on both sides, they could probably tell who was closer to the limit.
Kirihara Akaya murmured quietly, "From the beginning until now... I don't think I've ever seen Kei sweat. Could it be that a battle of this level... isn't even considered a warm-up for Kei?"
He spoke quietly, but everyone who should hear it heard it.
Chi is right.
Whether it was with him, Sanada, or even with Nioh who was now on the court, the freshman on the other side of the net never showed any sign of fatigue.
There is no end, no edge to explore...
What frightens people most is the unknown.
Liu turned his head and looked at Ren Wang, who was sweating to the limit but still smiling, and calmly pronounced the final conclusion.
"it's over."
Finally, there is no more abnormal second-stage blood lock or second-stage vernier caliper. Players can actually grind down the opposite mirror BOSS until its blood bar is empty.
"Game, 6-2!"
"Yagi wins...!"
One step closer to achieving the hidden achievement, the player crunches the chewy cookies and shakes hands with the NPC under the threat of an unexpected task.
Niou stroked his hair and said, "Hmm... I didn't even break a sweat. That's too much, puri~"
Player: Crunch.
Niou squeezed the hand of a first-year junior and waved it up and down like a child. "If there's a chance, let me observe you more next time, okay?"
He sighed, "I'm really curious... who can push you to your limits?"
Player: Pushes the door open and leaves without looking back.
[First grader Yagi Kei vs. third grader Niou Masaharu - won]
[We are working hard to arrange your opponent... Please wait...]
After leaving the settlement page, the player looked up and found a shadow in front of him.
Look at people, I don't know them,
Look at the ID, 'Yanagi Renji', the NPC with squinty eyes.
Players are familiar with the route around it.
This game is good in every aspect except that the NPCs always like to talk to themselves to force the players into the role story.
"The probability of us facing each other in the next game is 98.71%," the NPC with squinting eyes stated calmly.
Player: “?”
The prophet jumped out boldly?
Some werewolf impulses were at work.
Liu looked at the junior who was three heads shorter than him and said calmly, "I will try my best to push you to your limits."
He was waiting for the junior to ignore their words as usual and turn around and leave.
But no,
In the field of vision, the person with neatly pressed black hair raised his eyes slightly and said, "Oh."
He said, staring at the person blankly for a while without any expression.
Just as everyone's attention was gradually drawn to the two people confronting each other, and they pretended to be passing by and looked at them casually,
The younger generation who had been expressionless all the time started to move.
Bathed in the gazes of others, some expectant, some worried, some bewildered, and others, Yagi Kei stepped forward—
He took Liu's notebook.
Everyone: “…”
willow:"……"
Everyone: “?!!!”
willow:"……"
"Huh... So this is how they're going to influence Yanagi? It perfectly fits the 'easily take data from Yanagi Renji' plan—what a great plan... I'm surprised!!!"
"And—Kyu! You're holding it upside down!! If you can't understand, don't force yourself to read it!!"
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Bagui: What the hell? I can’t understand it, and I can’t learn it! (He angrily throws it into the corner of his backpack)
